Deleting everything

I thought I would leave my profile and stories up for sentimental reasons but I'm done with sentimentality. I've been plagiarized on this website enough. I've wasted enough time time and energy writing my heart out only to have people take my ideas- most recently my ideas for Pygmalion. I don't trust anyone on this website anymore and I certainly don't intend to write anymore. Every time I try to get back into the mindset of wanting to write for this site I change my mind. I haven't updated in MONTHS, so maybe that makes me a y author, but I've decided I'm going to go try to be a person and I couldn't care less about this pseudo world with its pseudo authors and their pseudo stories. Have fun doing whatever- writing etc. Idk if there will be anything that can convince me not to delete my writing but you probably won't hear from me again.

I won't ask you to change your mind but at least give me something i can contact you by,you are an awesome author who many loves your stories.I don't want to lose contact with you,I,for one,really loves your stories.If you not updating for months makes you a y author then I wonder what I would call myself,I haven't update anything since I first made this AFF account.I love reading stories and like coming up with them but I at writing them,if they steal your stories then report them.If it doesn't help then write your stories on another website (I recommend Wattpad) ,you can even write them and don't publish them but just don't say you stop writing.Writing out their ideas is an author's life.You do not just stop because someone is bullying,you just beat them to their own game.
I'LL MISS YOU!! <3

I'LL MISS YOU <3 i wont try to change your mind, as ive definitely seen a fair share of plagiarism in this community and can understand how upsetting that must be // i do hope that you don't quit writing, and dont forget the feeling of elation you once got when you wrote for others and the feeling of warmth when you get feedback ^^ as frustrating as being a writer can be, please dont let senseless idiots from an online community take away a hobby or activity that can provide so much happiness
BEST OF LUCK <3

Plagiarism is everywhere, not just on AFF. AO3 lets you download everything (some site stole a thousand fics from A03 using a bot and then sold them as ebooks for profit - now that's worse), LJ doesn't have a proper system against it and Wattpad's layout is... eh. Other sites are just tragic for posting anything. AFF just happens to be filled with people that sniff them more often because it relies heavily on the community to detect anything out of the ordinary rather than a group of mods.

I'm sorry it happened to you too, I guess that just proves the amazing author you are because no one would go into all that trouble without a reason. And I know you're upset and you're probably going to block me for saying this, but please don't put your anger on the community. You might hurt those "pseudo authors and their pseudo stories". There are still plenty of good people here and you know it too.

Either way, it's your choice. Deactivate your account, delete everything, whatever. I'm personally desensitized to all the author threats because it changed nothing other than the author's mental health. So if that makes you happier and lets you breathe, then go for it.

I'm sorry to hear this. It really has been a long time since you've been away :(
I'll miss you tbh. Is it really necessary to leave? Can't you fight them off? Sorry if I'm being nosy. But I miss you.

Plagiarism is a serious matter.. I hope you won't stop writing.. get copyright for your writing.. and publish it.. book.. e-book.. Hoping to hear good news from you.. here aff and fictionpress where i've been reading stories all this time.. author tends to removing their story because of plagiarism.. but some finally publishing their writing. youre talented.. don't waste it. Good luck and take care.

It makes me really sad that you had to make this decision. I understand and respect that, of course you have to do what is right for you. I'm really sad though, since your stories where always one of my absolute favorites.
It shocks me to hear that you feel this way, and it makes me want to punch those who steal your ideas in the face.
Man, this . I hope we can still communicate somehow, since I've grown to like you really much, even though we haven't talked in a long time. You probably don't even remember me haaahhh.
If you want to quit all contact to this site, I understand as well of course.
If we won't be able to talk again, I want to wish you the best of luck in your life.
Do dumb , but not too dumb.
Love, laugh., smile often. And live. Be happy.
I love you, and am glad to have met you, even though it was only on the Internet.
Sincerely, me.

More plagiarism? I'm sorry to hear that. It is really frustrating.

I respect your decision, though I hope everything goes well for you ;-; I know you may be set about deleting your stories and leaving, but that's probably what the plagiarizer wants you to do.

I don't know if you'll reply to this, but take care of yourself. Again, it that this is happening to you, and if you want, I'm always open to talk.
